Scott plans 'Robin Hood' sequel
Ridley Scott has plans for a 'Robin Hood' sequel.
The 72-year-old director - who will unveil the Russell Crowe-led movie at the Cannes Film Festival on May 12 - wants to make a sequel which may irritate historians.
He told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "In it we'll take King John up to being forced to sign the Magna Carta by his people who will probably be led by a guy called Robin Hood and all the historians will go nuts!"
'Robin Hood 2' is not the only film he is planning. The British filmmaker has also revealed details of his prequel to 'Alien'.
He said: "I got fed up with all the sequels, so I'm going to do a prequel, which will be set before the days of Sigourney Weaver's character.
"It will take place in about 2085 when they first come across this thing. And it will ask the question, 'Who is the guy lying in a chair with his chest blown outwards?' "
Ridley had previously claimed there will be two prequels to the 1979 classic.
He said: "It'll be two. Prequel one and two, then 'Alien' one. At the moment I'm just trying to get the first one out."
